UNPLEASANT AND IMPROBABLE.
Such Is the Experience of SaloOn-Keepers in
Trying to Sell on Sunday.

There was perhaps, less Intoxicating liquor
Sunday for several years. This is the testimony
of the members of the police force, who were
very active all day in looking for open back
doors. A majority of the saloor-keepers locked
their doors, threw up their blinds, and remained
at home all day. and the few who have always
been foremost il attempting to violate the law
were so closely watched that they found business
both Improbable and unpleasant. Superintend-
emit Travis sent patrolman Teiben, q newly-ap-
pointed officer, out in citizens clothes and
during the dav he appeared in every quarter of
the city. but was unsuccessful in finding more
than one chance for making arrests.
The very few saloons selling ad-
mitted only persons known personally
by the proprietor, mis- bartender watchers
the outside. In some instances tickets of ad
mission had been issued, and no one not holding
a pass could pass the guards. The only place
running where extra precautions were not being
observed was at Lawrence Riley's. on South Ili-
nois street. Mr.. Teiben succeeded in making
the spotter outside believe that he was a regular
customer and was admitted, to find crowd
drinking at the bar. Mr.. Riley arrested,
and the remainder Of the day the saloon was
closed
John Enkleton, the East Washing ton street
saloon keeper, who was arrested last Sunday by
patrolmen Brady and Hostetter, was taken into
custody again Yesterday by the same officers
He resorted TO the scrubbng dodge, and early
in the morning the officers saw people going in
and out of the place while the scrubbing was
progress He was notified to Close and when he
refused was placed under arrest. His colored
scrubber, Harry Anderson, said his employer
should not be taken from his place OF business,
and he, too, taken along. Mr.. Enkleton
was charged with desecrating the Sabbath and
the colored man with interfering with Of

BLOWN OPEN By BURGLARS.
Three Men Secrete Themselves in Charles
Mayer & Co.'S Store and Rob the Safe.

The safe in the store of Charles Mayer & Co.,
Nos. 20 and 81 West Washington street, was
blown and robbed by burglars sometime early
yesterday morning The thieves secured $3.50,
all the money the safe contained. The job was
one of the best planned and most successful
pieces of work of the kind ever done in the city
The three men who did it went to the store
when it was crowded with several hundred Gus
toners Saturday afternoon, and secreted them
selves somewhere among the piles Of goods until
the store closed at 8 o'clock at night. Then
they emerged from their hiding places, and after
drilling several holes through the dials the
safe. put in the powder and exploded it, without
any one hearing the report Securing the money
in the drawer they took five valises and, going
throug h the stock of goods. filled them with the
most valuable articles they could find. It was
nearly o'clock in the morning when their work
was completed, and then, unlatching the Pearl
street door, they departed with their booty.
Just after they had closed the door behind them
Merchant policeman Walker came to Pearl
started to run. Mr. Walker gave them pursuit.
and ran them to the Panhandle freight
yards. There he began to gain on them
and they dropped the valises and soon got
safely away from him. The valises were taken
back to the store. and were found 30 contain
several hundred dollars worth OF goods. including
jewelry, silverware and many OF the most costly
fancy articles in the store. If Mr.. Walker had
had any assistance he could have captured the
thieves. When he started in pursuit he did
know positively that they were thieves. he
would probably have used his revolver, and
perhaps have succeeded in capturing some Of
them at any rate.
The men, it is supposed secreted themselves
in the cellar, as the best opportunity for hiding
offered there. That they locked in
the store is certain. for not single lock on any
of the doors had been tempered with. Further
more. the Pearlstreet door cannot be opened
from the outside, but is barred from the inside
The thieves. whoever they were, unquestiona-
bly, knew this fact they would not have
risked being locked in the building.

EXPENSES UNPROyIDED FOR.
A Conference Relative to the Use of State
Funds Without an Appropriation.

There are some minor expenses connected
with tho State Offices which must depend upon
appropriation bills for their payment. The SAL
airy of officers. certain deputies and the mainte-
nance of the several institutions, benevolent,
punitory and educational provided for in
continuance of the appropriations for such pur-

covered by the bills last passed. But unless ap-
preparations are made from session to session Of
the General Assembly for iaintors and a certain
number Of clerks now employed by the State
officers. their payment must stop or
the officers themselves will have to
meet the expenses out of their salaries. The
funds for this purpose a appropriated 10 1885 are
about exhausted, and there is a question as to
how to continue the clerical force intended,
which, it is said, is necessary for the prompt
transaction of the States business.

DWELLING houses are very much
in demand now. Every day we have
inquiry from strangers who want to
settle in Eedenton. On Tuesday last
we had q call from o gentleman. who
seemed quite anxious to bring his
family here, and asked if he could
get house. We promised to secure
one If possible for him. He wishes
to rent or buy and pay cash if desired.
He says he is just waiting to get the
house and, then, he comes. Some of
our people possessing vacant lots
and an extra amount of idle money
would find their interest subserved
and che town greatly benefited by
providing homes for anxious new
corners who are knocking without the
walls Of our city.

2lst, Rev. Horace G. Hilton, after long
illness which he had borne with a
Christian spirit.
Truly may it be recorded that he was
faithful minister of Christ. By self

won the respect OF the people and ex-
erted positive, religious influence in
the counties of Washington, Beaufort,

of his labors.

Home Democrat.
This is good advice to North Caro-
lima farmers and to none SO apprOpri-
ate as to those of the Albemarle
section. 1t was here that native
ruit was discovered growing most
luxuriantly by our pilgrim fathers,
especially grapes to the culture OF
which both climate and soil is strongly
adapted. The original inhabitants
Of our section had them in abundance.
The native grape, even at this remote
period, still exists, tO.a limited eX-
ent, and where proper y cared for IL
8 found to be the most delicious Of
all kindred fruit. In the years of the
past, when hog and hominy was the
main thought of our slave-owning
people, the advangtages of fruit cul-
ture were deemed unimpOrtant. But
little care was taken of this native
production. Only here and there was
an orchard seen, principally of apples
and peaches. the ordinary use OF
which was to make brandy for home
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES for sale.
This was done away. however. at the
close Of the war when, under the
revenue laws of the country, it was
found Improbable to utilize fruit in
this way. Everybody, then, cut
down their trees and allowed their
vineyards to come to naught regard
ing fruit as utterly valuless as a
market crop. Now that it is clearly
seen that fruit is paying, that it is
decidedly the monied product OF all
the sections wherever grown, our
people regret the abandonment OF
their orchards though they continue
slow in returning to them again. II
is to be hoped that the profits which
other sections, far less suited to the
growth Of fruit in variety than ours
are constantly deriving will lead our
people to again avail themselves OF
the benefits which an early return to
fruit culture will bring unto them.

The Methodist Conference at
Danville, Va, passed the following
resolutions by a rising vote:
Whereas, The Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has always borne
strong testimony against the theatre,
and whereas, the patronizing of theat-
rical exhibitions by protesting Chris
tians has by recent occurrences been
given unusual prominence, and
whereas, the situation seems to JUS
tify an expression of opinion on this
subject by the conference; therefore
RESOLVED, That we are profoundly
convinced of the evil character and
influence of the theatre and of its
power as propagation of irreligion.
immortality and vice.
RESOLVED, That we do most affec-
tiOnately and earnestly exhort our
people to set their faces against this
thing as diversion which cannot be
used in the name 81 the Lord Jesus.
III these days of moral departures
the stage has proven no exception
aud hence the righteousness of the
position taken in the resolutions. If,
however. the classic taste of our peo-
pie had continued the plays of other
times popular, we would object to the
resolution IS too preclusive. When
degeneracy occurs in any public
pleasure or pastime the church, by
frowning upon it, may serve to re.
store it to its former standing of
dignity and harmlesness and thereby
make it q benefit not only to its mem
bers but to the moral world outside.
We look to the church for moral re-
forms and we are happy to say our
Methodist brethren have never dis
appointed us in their efforts in this
behalf.

is simply enormous; the favors which
Cheyenne has received in return from the
Union Pacific have been like angels visits
no more numerous than the law allowed.
1t is said that the present management is
the most enlightened the road has ever
had. We certainly hope so, for there Is
room for a vast deal of improvement.
Promises and good intentions are very
well in their way. Taffy is likewise quite
a s~ucculent substance, but not very filling
at the price. Selt-interest will secure
more for Cheyenne from the Union Pa
ciic than any other influence. A com
peting road is at our threshold and the
Union Pacific must make concessions to
maintain its prestige. Local industries
must be fostered and the growth of the
community encouraged. 1t is simply a
business proposition and the longest pole
will knock down the persimmons every
time.

There are doubtless many people IN
this city who, knowing nothing of the
woman except in a general way, fail to
appreciate the enormity of the evil
wrought by Madame jenkins in the long
years which she has resided in Cheyenne.
1t is said that she has accumulated about.
$50. 900 worth of property, every cent of
which she has received in the barter and
sale OF human beings whom she led to the
slaughter like sheep in the shamblcs.
From her den in the heart of the city
she has stretched forth her tentacles like
some ghoulish devilfsh and fattened like
a vulture on the blood money which she
extorted from her victims. Old age, and
its accompanying gray hairs, which should
excite generation in every civilized com
munity, arouse for her a contempt that is
simply beyond all human expression. She
is not only despised and abhorred by all
classes of people with any pretentions to
decency, but the most depraved outcast
of her own sex turns from Ter in horror
as a creature who has reached the very
uttermost limits of human degradation.
As she looks back over the frightful
record of her own life what visions she
may see of character splotched and scared
by her communicating breath and virtue
dragged down to the depths of infamy ?
Perhaps her ill-gotten gold may compens-
ate her for being an execrated outcast
from human kind.
Madame Helen jenkins has wrought
as much evil as any individual should be
permitted to encompass in this earthly
sphere. Cheyenne can now afford to part
from her without regret. As a parting
guest she would be specded with enthusi-
asm, and whatever loss might be felt
over her absence from Cheyenne could
scarcely be counted a gain by any other
community which she might decide to
visit.
The jenkins woman must go, but, if
she is inclined to remain, her life should
be made such a burthen to her that a
short term in hades would be paradise in
comparison to it.

Patent Medicine Labels.

In 1865 the total number of patent
medicine labels issued by the excise au-
thoritics was 7,O74, G6s and the receipts
500, 1913. Ten years later the number of
labels had increased to IA, S24, 1913 and
the receipts to El14, 1923, while last yea
the number of labels was yet higher at
2l,4Gs,7 lS. The percentage of increase
in the first period of eleven years
Qs65-1jl was 1854 for labels and
ll6,Gl for duty; in the second period it
was 1928 and 45. 43 respectively. Though
the quantity of patent medicines placed
upon the market did not increase in as
large Il proportion between 1S76-S6 as
between ls65-15, the public demand ap-
pears TO be more general from the fact
that the number of vendors increased by
30 per cent. during the recent, as against
20 per cent. in tho earlier, period. As
the lal"l duty is equivalent to one-eighth
Of tn" value Of the article stamped, we
have a ready means of a~scertaining the

medicines. Within twenty o II years it
has risen from G4g1, 097 to 81. Gil. $50.
